In my stories we’ve been talking about open caskets which led to the conversation of the benefits it provides for the grieving process.

But grief doesn’t move in clean data points

My own experience with my father doesn’t support the claim. We didn’t do any of the normal traditions for the end of his life and I’ve had a peaceful grieving experience.

But….
If we are doing studies about the benefits of an open caskets then i think we should look deeper into the benefits of getting more comfortable with death and dying.

If you are having difficulty in your relationship with death or grief and would benefit from support, let me know.

Thanks everyone for participating in my open casket polls ⚰️

Do you want an open casket?
Do you approach open caskets?

One thing that came up was many people commented on how an open casket helped them in the grieving process.

And studies show that an open casket is beneficial for the grieving process.

Okay but when were these studies done? After we industrialized death care and outsourced dying. When we started to distance ourselves from the natural life cycle?

So yes of course it makes sense we would need to see our dead loved ones.

Then I had this thought - are there some people who’s only proximity to a dead body is when it is presented to us in this staged manner in an open casket? What are your thoughts.



🚨NOW PLEASE UNDERSTAND I am not saying open casket is the way, I don’t believe there is a best practice, I believe there is a best practice for YOU. We all have our own personal relationship with death and grief. Every death is different just like every life.

🖤Grief Space: Guided • Silent • Shared

This is a space to sit with your grief not fix it.
We’ll move through gentle guidance, quiet integration, and optional sharing.
Cameras off is welcome.

This gathering falls during an astrological cazimi 💫a moment of quiet clarity, where what’s been sitting beneath the surface can be gently seen.

Come as you are.
Bring your grief.
All grief welcome.

👯‍♀️Please share, tell a friend, we are all going through it.

⚫️Silent Night is a quiet, collective online space for those living with grief, loss, transition, or emotional fatigue.

🔮This is not a group where you have to speak, share your story, or turn your camera on.
This is a space to show up for yourself, not for the screen or other people

we gather online and enter silence together >> to rest, feel, breathe, cry, witness, or simply be held in presence

There will be:
• A brief welcome and orientation
• A short reflection from myself
• A gentle guided visualization
• Energy restoration
• Optional quiet prompts
• A long period of shared silence for collective grief
• Optional sharing or questions at the close

🖤You are welcome to lie down, find expression, connect to creativity, cry, or remain still. Nothing is required of you

This is not a processing group
This is not therapy
This is not a place to fix or resolve grief

🕯️Silent Night is a container to be with grief in a collective space without pressure to perform. You are welcome to spend your time off screen as your grief needs

Come as you are.
Stay as you need.
Leave everything else at the door

Grief is not a problem to solve or a phase to finish

Grief remains

What changes is the person living with grief

You do not go through grief

You go through adaptation, integration, and becoming after loss.

Death Cafes are community conversations.

They’re group led spaces to sit with the hidden, the tender, the taboo.
We talk openly about death, dying, and everything after.

These gatherings are
☠️A place to speak the unspeakable
🌵A shared space of curiosity, reflection, and witness
🌑 A time to be in conversation
(not in crisis, not in performance)

This space is sacred, peer-held, and intentionally slow.

They are not:
✖ Therapy or counseling
✖ Grief support groups
✖ Networking events or business consultations

If you’ve never been to one, you’re welcome.
If you’ve been to many, come again.
Death meets us all and we meet it best in conversation.
